From the Laugavegur and Skolavordustigur shopping streets of Reykjavik’s central districts, first-time visitors here could be forgiven for thinking that they were doing the rounds in one of northern Europe’s mainland capitals. It’s adorned with all the usual livery of modernist retail outlets, homies coffee shops and buzzing bars, not to mention a fabled — if notoriously expensive — nightlife scene. However, just a stone’s through from beneath the painted timber houses of the town, the roaring falls of Gullfoss, the chiselled Esja mountain ridges and a smattering of bubbling hot springs are an ever-present reminder of this land’s primordial and metamorphic beginnings. But why not for just $551 return?
